I BE L IE V E
In God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth
I BE L IE V E
In Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was cruci fi ed, dead and buried
He descended into hell, on the third day, He rose again
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of
God the Father, Almighty
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I BE L IE V E
In the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church
The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins
The resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
AMEN
Giv e Thanks Smith, Henr y
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One;
Give thanks because He's given
Jesus Christ, His Son. (repeat)
And now let the weak say,
"I am strong."
Let the poor say, "I am rich"
Because of what the Lord has
done for us. (repeat)
Give thanks.
